Lost Thursdays at 9 pm | Premieres Jan. 31 [ABC]Season premiere to be announcedIf it's “not Penny's boat” on its way to rescue our castaways, exactly who — or what — is closing in on them? Why is Future Jack so bent out of shape by their eventual return to the mainland, and why is he determined to get back to the island? And speaking of that trippy flashy-forward, who was in the coffin? We may not get the uninterrupted 16-episode season we hoped for (and Jacob knows, we might not get immediate answers to all the above), but the ABC serial's Season 4 return cannot get here soon enough. Look for appearances this season by Cynthia Watros' Libby and Harold Perrineau's Michael, The Sopranos' Ken Leung (as a brilliant mathematician?) and Justice's Rebecca Mader.

Jericho [CBS]Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET | Premieres Feb. 12After an enormous amount of viewer complaints (and several pounds of nuts sent over to CBS) when the show's cancellation was announced, Jericho is making its way back to The Eye's schedule in 2008. With its premiere date to be announced, the seven-episode second season turns up looming questions from where the show left off: What happened to Maggie? How will Heather escape Camp Liberty? Will Jake step up now that Johnston is dead? Now that we know Darcy is aware of the Hawkins' truth, will she help? And no one could forget the helicopters flying overhead as the first season came to a close — another dark cloud casting a shadow over Jericho's waning strength.

New Amsterdam [Fox]Fridays at 9 pm/ET | Premieres Feb. 22New Amsterdam is the story of a New York homicide detective unlike any other. He is brilliant, mysterious, reckless, and he has a profound secret — he is immortal. Amsterdam will not age until he finds his one true love. Only then will he become whole and ready for mortality. But everyone Amsterdam meets must leave him in time; lovers and children die while he remains young. As the exhilaration of eternal life has given way to emotional isolation and bitter loneliness, Amsterdam discovers the blessing has become a curse. But when the NYPD detective suffers and then recovers from what appears to be a massive heart attack while chasing a suspect, he realizes his soul mate must have been nearby.

Joining Gator in bachelorhood redux is his thrice-divorced best friend Tommy (Johnny Sneed); Dr. Freddy Sahgal (24's Shaun Majumder), probably the least equipped of the group to handle this unexpected life change; and Kate (The Office's Rashida Jones), a smart, successful attorney who handled all three of the boys' divorces.

Nevertheless, something is missing from Sarah's life. All too aware that she isn't getting any younger, Sarah decides to have a baby but can't get pregnant.
